I've been running 0.90.2 since yesterday under Gentoo Linux and I'm seeing a huge performance impact.  I usually have only a couple of messages in the hold queue but I'm now seeing an average of 30 msgs waiting.  I also see clamscan taking a long time when viewed with top.  I guess I'll be going back to 0.90.1 until the issue is resolved.

BTW, since it's Gentoo, clamav is complied from source.
